From my point of view, pronunciation is one the most important component of the speaking skill. Students most practice it habitually in order to improve it. And they also need to have references to phonology, because it changes from the mother tongue to the specific foreign language they are learning. So, teachers have to take into account this aspect when they plan activities to develop the speaking skill.
However, teachers shouldn’t forget how important stress, rhythm and intonation are, because all of them are connected to pronunciation directly.
A foreign language learner has to master these components to success in their goal which is to speak the new language in the nearly natural way. That is not possible if learner is not totally related at all with them.
